Article Abstract

Many envisaged applications, such as nanoelectronics, photovoltaics, thermoelectric power generation, light-emission devices, energy storage and biomedicine, necessitate single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples with specific uniform electronic properties. The precise investigation of the electronic properties of filled SWCNTs on a qualitative and quantitative level is conducted by optical absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, photoemission spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This review is dedicated to the description of the spectroscopic methods for the analysis of the electronic properties of filled SWCNTs. The basic principle and main features of SWCNTs as well as signatures of doping-induced modifications of the spectra of filled SWCNTs are discussed.

Suppressed Degradation Process of PBDB-TF-T1:BTP-4F-12-Based Organic Solar Cells with Solid Additive Atums Green.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Solid additives have garnered significant attention due to their numerous advantages over liquid additives. This study explores the potential of the green-fluorescent conjugated polymer denoted Atums Green as a solid additive in green-solvent-based PBDB-TF-T1:BTP-4F-12 solar cells. Even tiny amounts of Atums Green doping significantly improve the device performance.

Background: Regionally anticoagulated continuous renal replacement therapy with citrate is the first choice for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. If citrate that reaches the patient exceeds the metabolic capacity, metabolic alkalosis will follow. Bicarbonate from the treatment fluids will also reach the patient and add to the bicarbonate load.

Cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease results from a complex interplay of various pathological processes, including the dysregulation of key enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). This study proposes and designs a series of novel molecules derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline (Azo-8HQ) as potential multi-target lead candidates for treating AD. An exhaustive in silico analysis was conducted, encompassing docking studies, ADMET analysis, density functional theory (DFT) studies, molecular dynamics simulations, and subsequent MM-GBSA calculations to examine the pharmacological potential of these molecules with the specific targets of interest.

Bismuth oxyselenide (BiOSe) stands as a highly promising layered semiconductor with outstanding optical, electrical, and thermal properties. For the practical application of the material toward the devices, growing BiOSe directly on the amorphous substrate at low temperatures (<400 °C) is essential; however, the negatively charged bottom Se layer originating from alternating stacks of Se and [BiO] has hindered this process. In this work, we report the method for synthesizing a BiOSe film on amorphous alumina (AlO) directly at 350 °C by using chemical solution deposition.

Quantum chemical studies of carbon-based graphene-like nanostructures: from benzene to coronene.

J Mol Model

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Espírito Santo, Av. Min. Salgado Filho, Vila Velha, 29106-010, Espírito Santo, Brazil.

Context: This study presents quantum chemical analysis of 14 distinct carbon-based nanostructures (CBN), ranging from simple molecules, like benzene, to more complex structures, such as coronene, which serves as an exemplary graphene-like model. The investigation focuses on elucidating the relationships between molecular orbital (MO) energies, the energy band gaps, electron occupation numbers (eON), electronic conduction, and the compound topologies, seeking to find the one that approaches most of a graphene-like structure for in silico studies. Through detailed examination of molecular properties including chemical hardness and chemical potential, we demonstrate that the electronic exchange between orbitals is directly influenced by the structural topology of the carbon-based nanostructures, as the electron occupation numbers and the molecular orbital energies.
